Disallow creation of dense arrays using the Array constructor (no-array-constructor)

Use of the Array constructor to construct a new array is generally
discouraged in favour of array literal notation because of the single-argument
pitfall and because the Array global may be redefined. The exception is when
the Array constructor is used to intentionally create sparse arrays of a
specified size by giving the constructor a single numeric argument.

Rule Details

The following patterns are considered warnings:

Array(0,1,2)

newArray(0,1,2)

The following patterns are not warnings:

Array(500)

newArray(someOtherArray.length)

When Not To Use It

This rule enforces a nearly universal stylistic concern. That being said, this
rule may be disabled if the constructor style is preferred.
